I think your percentage guesstimates may be more than a little out. I have a bluetooth headset and bluetooth speakers, bought for use with my phone. With that phone, they just work. Why should I expect any less from a proper computer? If you install a desktop system, you have a right to expect it to be able to do all the desktop things. If you don't want that, choose a different profile. You don't even need to fiddle with USE flags, .if you want a full desktop setup just pick an appropriate profile; if you don't, ditto I never saw the need for PA for my needs, but I needed to help someone experiencing sound problem and they used PA, so I set the USE flag and updated; expected some fun and games. But it all just carried on working. I have more control options, which pleases me as a control freak, but the default installation of PA was all but invisible. -- Neil Bothwick Taglines are like cars - You get a good one, then someone nicks it.
